I have a Bose speaker that can support bluetooth and wire inputs. If I were to buy a Creative Recon3D sound card, will there be any quality drop in audio if I were to use bluetooth to connect to my PC?

Not sure if anyone here experimented before?

Bluetooth connection to a sound card? I don't know if that's possible unless the sound card has native bluetooth connectivity built in.

In general, wired sound is superior to wireless.

I was thinking to use buy a bluetooth usb to connect to my PC then connect my speakers wirelessly.

Just curious, Bluetooth is transmitting data into the speakers, shouldnt bluetooth be better since there is no conversion lost from digital to analog compared to using wire.

Bluetooth compressed the file further to save bandwidth. More impact on higher bitrate files.

That is a great question. I was stumped for a bit.

I don't know if I'm right but I think bluetooth speakers have its own DAC (I.E. it functions as a speaker+sound card).

Which means a bluetooth setup will bypass any internal or external DAC/soundcard since the digital to analogue phase occurs within the speaker.

Do a bit of research yah?
